SHOOTING FOUL: Police received a call reporting a gunshot in the Austin Street area around 3 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 27. After responding to the call, officers heard a gunshot on Hawley Street and saw a group of men running away from the scene while T'Marrie Johnson, 20, 53 Perry St., allegedly tossed an item over a fence onto a nearby basketball court. A group of officers assisted Johnson with a gunshot wound to his thigh while others found a loaded handgun on the court. After noticing Johnson was wearing a holster and had a burn mark on his hand consistent with firing a gun, police deduced Johnson had accidentally shot himself in the thigh and charged him with discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, carrying a loaded firearm without a license, possession of a firearm/ammunition without an FID card and carrying a firearm without a license.

KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN: A would-be bank robber apparently did not get everything she wanted for Christmas. On Friday, Dec. 26, a woman approached a bank teller at the Leominster Credit Union on West Boylston Street and allegedly passed a threatening note demanding cash. When she started yelling at the teller to hurry up, she attracted the attention of a police sergeant working a detail inside the bank at the time. Colleen Montalvo, 46, 40 Richards St., was apprehended inside the bank as she turned to flee with an undisclosed amount of money. No one was injured, and Montalvo was charged with unarmed robbery.
